NMW is soliciting applications for technical assistance from communities in the Rocky Mountain West to address specific challenges or opportunities relating to transportation and community development. City staff has identified the need for technical assistance to plan for potential impacts to the downtown transportation corridor from the future widening of SH 55 between McCall and New Meadows. The feasibility of establishing the Deinhard-Boydstun connector as an alternate route will be studied, including the socioeconomic impacts to downtown McCall, as well as safety and the opportunity for multimodal transportation improvements. The technical assistance would include a one to three day site visit and community workshop. NMW would provide a technical assistance team of transportation planners and the City would be required to assist in developing the project scope, meeting logistics, public involvement plan, maps, and other related duties.  RECOMMENDED ACTION: Approve submission of the New Mobility West Community Assistance application and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.  RECORD OF COUNCIL ACTION  MEETING DATE ACTION
